The Game Developers Choice Awards are the premier accolades for peer recognition in the digital games industry. Each year, the Choice Awards recognize and celebrate the creativity, artistry and technical genius of the finest developers and games created in the last year. Congratulations to the winners of the 10th Annual Choice Awards, held at Game Developers Conference 2010, and watch out for more information on the main Choice Awards later in 2010.

[NEW: The Game Developers Choice Awards now has a sister, online game-specific awards, which will be taking place at GDC Online in Austin, Texas this October. The Game Developers Choice Online Awards ceremony will honor the accomplishments of the sometimes overlooked creators and operators of online video games – from large-scale MMOs through free-to-play titles to social network games. Awards span excellence in live services, technology, game updates, online game design, and more -- the official website has more details.]
